After Nude Photo Incident, 5SOS’s Calum Hood Claims He’s Much More Careful With Fame


The bassist for Australian punk band 5 Seconds of Summer Calum Hood admits he’s learned a few lessons since he became a rock star. Several months ago, Calum Hood sent a Snapchat video of his genitals to someone who ultimately recorded the nude images and posted them online. Calum openly admitted on Twitter that he’s still learning from his mistakes, and now it seems like Hood has reached a better understanding of how to be a role model.

The paparazzi have clearly had a major influence over the lives of the 5 Seconds of Summer boys, revealing the romantic interest of member Ashton Irwin before they took the relationship public. According to News.com.au, Calum Hood is now much more cautious of how he parties and tries a lot harder not to do anything that might embarrass him. Without explicitly referring to the nude Snapchat incident, Calum Hood admitted that the entire band is taking a different approach to enjoying their success these days.

“If you aren’t doing anything wrong, they can’t catch you out,” said Calum Hood. “Especially with past experiences, it has made me more wary of things. Don’t get me wrong we still [party], we’re just obviously more careful about the way we do it.”

Despite the negative impact of fame on the lives of Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin, the members of 5 Seconds of Summer are still on full throttle for the future of the band. According to Sugarscape, they want to become even more famous for their music and hope to someday escalate the name 5 Seconds of Summer to legendary status.

“It is going to take some hard work but I think we realise it is possible. We have always wanted to be the biggest band in the world but four years ago, it felt a million miles away. I feel if we make the right music, say the right things in the press and do right by the fans, then maybe.”

Even through the difficult times, the members of the band have stuck together. Ashton Irwin did seem to publicly forgive Calum Hood for the nude photo incident, which could have seriously harmed the band’s image. But now things appear to be back on track, and the band is going strong.

What do you think about the decision of Calum Hood to take rock star life a little slower these days? Is it wise, or unnecessary?
